PetSafe Happy Ride Dog Safety Seat Review

The Main About PetSafe Happy Ride Dog Safety Seat

The PetSafe (Solvit in the past) Happy Ride Dog Safety Seat is the perfect solution for small dog owners who want their furry friends to enjoy the car ride while staying safe and comfortable. The Safe-T-Core technology differentiates this design, which employs a system of moulded panels that permanently fasten together. Assembling the lightweight yet sturdy frame is easy, and it takes only one minute to install the seat securely in front or back seat without headrest (this model does not require use of car headrest). No tools are necessary to lock the strong plastic panels together.

This dog seat comes with a 9-inch raised platform that gives small dogs the ability to see out the window and enjoy the breeze. The interior is spacious and padded, making it ideal for multiple small pets. This safety seat suits furry friends who weigh up to 30 lb. They can rest and sleep comfortably on the fleece liner and cushion. Additionally, you don’t have to worry about pet hair or scratches ruining your seats because they’ll be safely secured in their own special spot. And if the removable liner gets dirty after a fun day with your best friend, just pop it into the washing machine.

Customer’s Experience Using The PetSafe Happy Ride

I love this dog seat. I bought it for my dog after realizing that she loved to sit on laps during car rides, which isn’t safe. Even in small wrecks and accidents, the inertia can throw a human, so it can definitely throw a much smaller dog. I often make long car trips that last approximately 10 hours, so I wanted a product that would ease my mind. I use this in combination with car safety harness and drive much more relaxed knowing that both myself and my dog are securely strapped in. In terms of comfort, my dog fall in love with the car seat; she is calmer in the seat and has fallen asleep multiple times. Additionally, she doesn’t have to put forth as much effort to stay balanced while strapped into the seat. To me, it’s important that this car seat isn’t a tiring challenge for her. The seat is tall, so when she sits up in the seat, she definitely has a great view. I try to keep the carseat in the back of my car because if there’s an accident, the airbag could do more harm than good for my dog. But it does fit snugly in front of my car if need be. And I think that snug fit also helps my dog feel more secure when he’s riding shotgun. I recommend this seat!
